Two people were arrested for impersonating medical doctors and fraudulently issuing medical certificates.
They were arrested in Germiston by a joint operation involving the Health Professions Council of South Africa's (HPCSA) Inspectorate, Ekurhuleni East Organised Crime Unit, the Flying Squad and Community Active Security.
The HPCSA discovered that one accused claimed to be Dr J Dominic, while the other pretended to be Dr AS Semambo.
They were allegedly selling fraudulent medical certificates to members of the public.
The two are expected to appear in the Germiston Magistrate's Court, facing charges of fraud and contravening the Health Professions Act.
The HPCSA believes that working with law enforcement agencies, other regulatory bodies, the media, and the public is a collective responsibility to ensure that illegal practitioners are exposed, reported and prosecuted.
